Kanye raps like a man with a 3 inch boner.....

So TLOP might've been a mixtape and THE REAL ALBUM is coming out soon. Maybe there is a God after all..

Well, he's not really "a rapper" ... I just read an interesting piece on Quietus about Kanye the Producer vs. Kanye the Artist vs. Kanye the Rapper. He shed lyrical rap a long time ago in favor of something less restrictive. I'm not saying he's the best rapper in the world, because he's not, but he's also not going for that. Yeah, rhyming a word with itself is not a great move for rappers. But the lyric works because the important parts are in between the rhymes. Telling a lie, admitting to telling a lie, and not just any lie, but a major one. There's a conversational element to the lyric that I just love, as though you can see him talking to some stone-faced woman at the front door of her house, saying "slightly scratched" her car and then confessing the truth, "ok, so I smashed it," when he sees the dead-eyed look on her face. That's how I see it anyway. I never claimed Kanye was Rakim, man. Just because the rhymes aren't pristine doesn't mean the lyrics don't have a uniquely human feel to them. (Shrug) |

What does that even mean? Eminem raps like a man with a really big boner that we wants everyone to see. His lyrics are still gutwrenchingly awful. The Game kinda raps like a guy who needs Viagra to get a boner at all, but he still kicks fucking ass (most of the time). Kanye *makes music* like a man who *makes very good music* ... That's what matters to me. If you're interested in hearing Ye rap like a fucking God, listen to No More Parties in LA. Or just about anything from his first three albums. Or "Gorgeous". The man's done quite well for himself for not being an actual rapper. Or not *just* a rapper. One of the reasons I like Kanye in a way that I probably will never like super proficient lyrical executioners like Kendrick is because he's both not a rapper and much more than a rapper. It's his hand that has been behind some of the most well produced singles and albums of the past decade. |

I was thinking about this the other day on the way home... I trust Kanye West's intuition, artistic vision and skill as a producer so much that if Kurt Fucking Cobain were to rise from the dead tomorrow and Nirvana reunited for a 2016 solo album, and for some reason asked for my input as to who they should work with in the studio, I'd point them to Kanye West.
I honestly think Kanye has such an excellent ear and such on-point sonic instincts that he would be more likely to make an authentic sounding Nirvana album in 2016 than Butch Vig or Steve Albini. This is probably the SYG equivalent of drawing a penis on my forhead with permanent marker, but whatever. That's how I feel. |

You're driving me crazy here dude. Where did you hear this? Should I refollow Kanye on Twitter? What do you mean it "might have been" a mixtape? Anyway, if it's a mixtape (which is, let's face it, exactly what it is at this point, since it's basically fucking free, has no physical release, and is not for sale) then maybe you could go a bit easier on it? If it's a mixtape that puts it in with Can't Tell Me Nothing, "The Graduate" Graduation Mixtape, Freshman Adjustment, etc. all of which have their outstanding moments as well as tons of super weak half-baked shit. You know, a while ago I said something about how you might as well consider it a mixtape, in which case it's pretty much the best mixtape ever made. Anyway, I hope you're right ONLY because that would mean MORE MUSIC!!! |

@Rob Instigator / Kanye can't rap, etc.
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances And eventually answers to the call of Autumn All of them fallin' for the love of ballin' Got caught with thirty rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums Based off the way we was branded Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon And at the airport they check all through my bag and Tell me that it's random But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage I need a happy ending and a new beginning And a new fitted and some job opportunities that's lucrative This the real world, homie, school finished They done stole your dreams, you dunno' who did it I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS I won't be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it? ... Is hip hop, just a euphemism for a new religion The soul music for the slaves that the youth is missing This is more than just my road to redemption Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention As long as I'm in Polo's smilin' they think they got me But they would try to crack me if they ever see a black me I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me If a nigga ain't running shootin' a jump or running a track meet But this pimp is, at the top of mount Olympus Ready for the World's game, this is my Olympics We make 'em say ho cause the game is so pimpish Choke a southpark writer with a fishstick I insisted to get up offa this dick And these drugs, niggas cant resist it Remind me of when they tried to have Ali enlisted If I ever wasn't the greatest nigga, I must have missed it! ... need more drinks and less lights And that American Apparal girl in just tights She told the director she tryna get in a school He said "take them glasses off and get in the pool" It's been a while since I watched the tube Cause like a crip said, "I got way too many blues for any more bad news" I was looking at my resume feeling real fresh today They rewrite history I don't believe in yesterday And what's a black beetle anyway, a fucking roach I guess that's why they got me sitting in fucking coach But God said I need a different approach Cause people is looking at me like I'm sniffing coke It ain't funny anymore try different jokes Tell 'em hug and kiss my ass, x and o And kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I got it Play strings for the dramatic Ending of that wack shit Act like I ain't had a belt in two classes I ain't got it I'm coming after whoever who has it I'm coming after whoever, who has it!? You blowing up, that's good, fantastic That y'all, its like that y'all I don't really give a fuck about it at all Cause the same people that tried to black ball me Forgot about two things, my black balls |

weird.
If this really does stay a Tidal exclusive then it'll be like the Free Weezy album to me. (I have never heard that).

Ah man, don't be like that. Everyone agrees it's a sloppy jumble of insanity, but I still fucking love it. Fucking love the shot out of it. Love the shit out of Ye. Hope he gets the help he needs, hope he does not make 40 tracks with Young Thug. Hope he feels good and gets shot under control. Album still goes hard as hell. I can't think of anything negative to say about it. But maybe that's because I keep listening to it, and as predicted the songs are starting to take on specific meaning for me. I almost didn't keep listening to Yeezus. So glad I did. Don't give up on him bro. |

I still don't see anything about TLOP being a mixtape but whatever, that's cool. Of course, this is coming from the guy who said he was going to release the follow up to Yeezus eight months.... No 12 months... No, a year and a half... scratch that, 3 years later. ![]() |

I'm listening to FML again... Wondering what you have to say about this track.
I think it's one of his best songs ever. Could have been on Yeezus. |
